BBC Philharmonic | Ben Gernon conductor | Lucas van Woerkum film director

Stravinsky The Firebird | Ravel Daphnis and Chloe – Suites 1 & 2 (Suggested rating Parental Guidance)

The BBC Philharmonic in association with The Bridgewater Hall presents a very special event marrying sound with vision, bringing classic works by two of the 20th century’s greatest composers to vivid musical and cinematic life. Ben Gernon conducts the orchestra in Igor Stravinsky’s breathtaking ballet and two evocative suites by Maurice Ravel – with all three works accompanied by specially created dramatic films, edited live by director and ‘image soloist’ Lucas van Woerkum to ensure perfect harmony between the sounds of the orchestra and the pictures on the big screen.
